Let The Roasting Begin: ‘Real Homemakers Of New York’ Reunion Part 1 Recap

1 month, 5 days ago

It’s the first part of the Season 9 reunion of, and for those of you who don’t watch religiously( how dare you ), that entails it’s finally the episode where they all kind of have to admit the shit we’ve been saying about them all season. It’s kind of a Bravo tradition that the first installment of a reunion is never the most exciting one, but everyone was super annoying this season, so there’s sure to be tons of brutal callouts. Plus, the reunion is at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, which might be the sickest venue that a reunion has ever had. So like, if you get bored, only look at the nice decoration. Idk.

Although reunions are generally a time in which the casting is supposed to show some level of repentance for an entire season’s worth of heinous actions, I’d just like to point out that Tinsley is clearly rocking a “NO RAGRETS” attitude towards her constantly criticized horrible style. Homegirl’s dressed like the damn teapot from.

Ramona is the first one to take the hot seat.( Which, again, if you’re new to reunions, isn’t an actual seat. The couch seat scheme is basically as carefully thought-out and rigid as the cafeteria layout in .) Although this betch is certifiably crazy, you have to admit that she seems totally incredible .* Lindsay Lohan voice* I entail, everybody looks great tonight. Appear at Ramona Singer, that dress is amazing and those hair extensions must have expensed thousands.

Anyway, Ramona’s like, perfect proof that seems aren’t everything, because her highlighting reel is cringeworthy AF. She basically has to sit on a couch with six other women and watch video footage of them talking shit about her. Yikes. At least Ramona can agree that she was totally batshit all season, though.

Ramona : Watching it on Tv, it’s like, holy shit, who is that woman?

Next Ramona addresses her plastic surgery history and talks about how she’s had her eyelids done, laser sunspot therapy and a boob job. But like, there’s got to be some medication that’s only legal in the Southern Hemisphere, or something, because this chick does not seem 60.

Ramona claims that she’s definitely not as bad as she seemed all season, but Bethenny is patently here with some serious tea. She calls out Ramona for not recognise her assistant in an elevator the night before the reunion taping and before B can even finish detailing the run-in, Ramona’s immediately like, “well, when you grow up abused !! ” Bethenny goes off on her and I am thanking the Bravo gods that the peaceful makeup between these two didn’t last. This shit is way more entertaining.

While Bethenny is on a roll of running off on people, Andy asks her if she’d ever be interested in opening a friendship with Jill Zarin. Skinny Girl is not fucking having it. She calls Andy out for asking her the same question literally every, Hanukkah, birthday, anniversary, and reunion and he just like, switchings questions.

Side note : Every single Housewife is in a relationship right now. So yes, daughters, you, too can grow up to blackout on every possible occasion and still find love. Bless up.

Next up on the chopping board is Dorinda, who was totally my favourite this season.( I know that journalists are supposed to be like, objective or whatever, but if the is allowed to straight-up be like “Yo, FUCK Trump, ” then I think it’s okay for me to say Dorinda is my favorite, right ?)

I kind of forgot about the fact that a big chunk of Dorinda’s storyline this season was focused on her conflict with Sonja, because it was so effing boring. However, I’m fairly glad we got to see the “CLIP! CLIP! Clip! ” clip again, because it’s definitely a phrase that is going to go down in Housewives history.

Dorinda tries to explain what that actually meant, but the truth is that it was basically merely nonsensical, drunk term vomit.

Dorinda : I couldn’t halting the verbal waterboarding.

Dorinda had some fairly legendary one-liners this season, including referring to Sonja’s vagina as the Holland Tunnel. LOL. Sonja starts to try to defend her Holland Tunnel, but everyone cuts her off because we all know there’s really no phase in that.

A viewer sends in a question asking Dorinda if she observes it hypocritical that she always calls Sonja out for being drunk all of the time, even though she is usually so smashed herself that she requires subtitles. Dorinda’s just like, “nah, I don’t pretend that I don’t love to beverage, like Sonja does.” And, THAT, my friends, is why she is my favorite Housewife this season.

The final Housewife to get roasted this episode is Luann, and I’m actually concerned that I might have pulled an extraocular muscle rolling my eyes during this part. She basically just goes on her typical marital bliss rant, which is just so sad to watch because we all know that she just recently announced that she’s divorcing Tom.

Luann : Right now, I like being Luann D’Agostino Literally everyone else: Um … right now? Not forever?

BTW, apparently Luann is wearing the dress from her bridal rehearsal dinner.

It’s finally revealed that Sonja did in fact receive a save the date to Luann’s wedding, but then she started talking shit in the press about good ol’ Lu, and the former Countess held back the real bridal invitation. So, even though Sonja is entirely nuts, she wasn’t lying about the fact that she technically was invited to the wedding.
